How sad that Mike adds a lose to his record and against Jake fecking Paul
Boxing was always such a big night. Nothing like a title fight. The nerves, anticipation, whatever you want to call it. Even this joke of a fight had people nervous and excited before the bell was rung. I guess it was just nostalga for one night. Those days are long gone for the really big fights.
Fack off I missed Taylor Swift for this.
Are you in Toronto? Bc i know some folks there tonight
The 2 undercard bouts before this one were fantastic title fights
feck off Paul neither tried to hurt anybody
Tyson NO more fights this has to stop

So the slap yesterday was the best shot Tyson got.
Dont worry guys it's the era of truth and good is rising.
YesAre you in Toronto? Bc i know some folks there tonight
Why would they even judge this?
The era of truth and good wtf. Why does every shit head have to make things political
Someone already told him the number of viewers to promote Netflix as well.

This was not a great night for boxing, this was not a great fight.
Interview he did with kid is telling in hindsight. He was almost aggressively annoyed at the idea of legacy.
He knew he was selling a little bit more of it tonight and the thought of it annoyed him. But that number was just too big.

Haha hell you should have gone to that or the hockey game for that matter. What a waste of time this wasYes
It was embarrassing for everybody involved , well apart from the money men
Paul shutting his haters up.
Funny thing is Jake Paul thinks this is really a win for him.
That’s one way to describe it…
What a waste of everyone’s time, like these old man matches always are. Except for that one time.
Stop it , how he was never going to lose , how is beating a 58 year old Mike Tyson has adding anything to him

Even his haters are ashamed for him.
How is he even mentioning Canelo, and how does Canelo need him in any way, shape or form? Saying that, I’d love to see Canelo slap the feck out of him
The Taylor Serrano fight was a great dust up. Katie got very lucky with that decision. Surprised it was unanimous in her favour. I thought Serrano had it.

I wouldn't say that. He beat an old who has a knee injury.
Tyson struggled to walk to the ring. He stopped to balance himself before getting in the ring and he was off balance moving around the ring with his feet too close together. This version of Tyson was a shadow of the Tyson that had an exhibition vs Jones Jnr let alone the tyson who retired 20 years ago
The only way Paul shuts the haters up is when he fights legitimate fighters that still have a pulse.
But we know he'll not fight someone who is a prime boxer in the top 10.
His disciples will put this across as a legitimate win and as some big feat when in reality, this version of tyson wouldn't last a minute against any prime legitimate boxing heavyweight
This is why someone needs to beat him to a pulp and teach him exactly what it takes to be called a professional boxer. It's not about him selecting fights he knows he'll win.
This sorry excuse for a contest will have put millions of people off watching or commenting on any of his fights again, so in a way they're right.
I hope you're right.
This sort of thing belongs to circus organisations like Pride.(are they still about) where you seen 7ft guys fighting 140lb midgets and Bobby Sapp getting beat by everyone big and small
Mike literally looks like someone with Alzheimer's out there. This is the farce it was expected to be.
Mike can barely walk. Can't react to punches and is barely able to throw anything cohesively.
Paul is carrying him and trying to make it look competitive.

Yes, I was bored speechless.
Everything about that was so fecking cringe.
I guess tyson won't give a shit. He just got paid over $200k for every punch he threw. Over $1m per punch landed. Not a bad return for someone who retired 20 years ago and was fighting a guy who wasn't even born when he won his last title.

It got very awkward during the match that’s for sure
Mike looked done, and Paul didn’t want too seriously hurt him, a 58 year old man, so he was quite clearly holding back but also wanted too make it entertaining, which backfired because this was far from entertaining
Just a total awkward fest
It’s not a disgrace too boxing, because this isn’t boxing, I have no problems with it on that front, but I guess more disgrace too entertaining? Just so boring
Sports? Isn’t it mainly a boxing problem?
You would hope that this was embarrassing but its not. The Jake Paul fans who are all teenagers will think he is a God for beating Mike. They made millions cheating the public and they will do it again. Just give it a few weeks and it will be Jake Paul takes on Alverez or Mr Beast or some other sht. Everyone will just get sucked in again. Half just to see him knocked out and the other half because they teenage love him. And it will probably be Alverez who should beat the sht out if him but he won't. It will be another points win either way. Depending on discussions before the fight
Fight went as everybody expected. The reaction I don't think did. Maybe this will signal the end of these joke fights now the public and press alike are turning on them.
Meh, i can easily imagine that it will get slightly more professional and that this is essentially how boxing will continue to evolve, WWE but with gloves
It felt like a watershed moment when the gallery kept panning to the crowd to a minimum as the majority of those spectators looked like it had dawned on them that this was an old man who can barely stand up was getting dangerously close to seriously injured but for the mercy of a YouTube boxer. The spectacle was over by the 2nd round’s end and then things started to get painfully awkward.
This might be a massive backfire in the end for Netflix. The media response can alter the future of these sham bouts, for sure.
That many people will be fooled by the hype that an almost 60 year old legend who was cooked way before he retired decades ago would have any chance against an active fighter half his age, even in it's Jake Paul.
Each cut of his impressive looking training highlight clips were never more than a few seconds long. I'll watch the highlights and see if there was anything of note.
